How do I create a list with my own music?

Not sure what you're looking to do. Are you trying to just compile a list of music you own, or are you trying to get Alexa to play a list of music you own?

To do that you will need some kind of server that works with Alexa. I'm using 'MyMusic', but there is also "Plex' & some others. Most are pay services.
This is a great article on the subject:

not really much work.  just download and install mymedia, point to the folder your music is in, then play your music using voice commands.   I am guessing plex is similar
